Yes, you can use abbreviations in tables and figures. All abbreviations used in tables and figures should be defined in the table note or figure caption, respectively, even though the abbreviations will be also be defined in the text if they are used there.
Tables and figures are sometimes placed in text close to where they are mentioned and sometimes placed at the end of the paper. Figures: A figure is any type of illustration other than a table (chart, graph, photograph, or drawing). Use figures to complement information in text or to simplify text.R (see Table 2). Tell the reader what to look for, but only mention the major points of the table. Number tables in the order they are first mentioned in text. Do not write âthe table aboveâ or âthe table below.â Be consistent in the formatting and vocabulary of all tables when writing a paper.
